Part A
Based on the original information in the case study materials and the further information you have received,
- List 10 stakeholders. Try to avoid being too general with your stakeholders. Do not limit your stakeholders to those in the case study additional information provided. Try to think in detail as to ‘who’ might help or hinder this project.
- Once you have done this carry out a simple stakeholder analysis. Your analysis should include an assessment of influence/power (high or low), interest (active or passive) and attitude (for/back or against/block the project) and can either be in the form of a diagram or a table. Further information on how to do this can be found in the paper ‘Stakeholder management with sensible stakeholder mapping’.
- For 5 of your stakeholders describe what actions to engage them might be available.
In summary, using the proformas provided list 10 stakeholders. Then carry out a simple stakeholder analysis. Finally, for 5 stakeholders describe what actions to engage them might be available.
Marks will be given as per the grading criteria.
Part B
Identify and document 10 risks. You may want to base these on some of the assumptions, constraints or issues you identified in Activity 02 or new sources of uncertainty that arise from the additional information you have received. It is essential that you describe the risks in accordance with the guidance given in your organisation’s policies & procedures and in the paper provided this week entitled “Identifying project risks – distinguishing between causes, risks and effects”.
Please think widely about all aspects of the case and do not focus only on the aspects you are familiar with. You may choose to use PESTLE, TECOP or another tool to assist you in identifying risks.
Using the template provided describe 10 risks, no more and no less. 5 should be risks with upside impact, 5 should be risks with downside impact.
Marks will be given primarily for the quality of the risk description.
